1. Pond's Wet Cleansing Towelettes in Evening Soothe. These have been my go-to makeup remover wipes for the past few months now. The quilted texture gets every trace of makeup, and the scent is relaxing for nighttime use. I've come to realize that many brands make great wipes (I still love Yes to Cucumbers and Neutrogena). However, I can always find Pond's on sale so I keep repurchasing.

2. Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. This works wonders on heavy duty mascara, especially my Benefit "They're Real" which is known for being difficult to remove.

3. Josie Maran Argan Oil. This has been raved about from so many bloggers. This is my newest skincare addition, as I just added it to my nightly routine two weeks ago. I already love it, and can't believe how soft and supple my skin looks and feels when I get out of bed in the morning. I slather it everywhere. I concentrate on my skin, but it can also be used on cuticles, hair, and anywhere that needs a serious dose of moisture.

4. Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado. Now that I'm in my late 20's, I notice just how sensitive the delicate skin around my eyes are. I don't have any lines yet, but I do need moisture. This eye cream is amazing. This is my second jar, but it lasts forever. A little goes a long way. I use it not only before bed, but also in the morning underneath my concealer. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

5. ROC Deep Wrinkle Night Cream. I mainly use this for preventative measures. I'm still fairly young ;) But I've said before that I do have little lines between my brows. I don't use it every night because it does irritate my skin slightly, but I try to apply a bit at least four times a week.

6. MAC Fix+. This is the travel size that came out with some collection I'm sure. I spray this on after applying my makeup, as well as right before bed. No reason why really, it just feels so refreshing and I love that scent. I didn't think it set my makeup well until I started spraying some on before using my MUFE HD powder. That does the trick, and my makeup stays on a few hours longer.

I'm always curious about skincare products, so there are a few things I want to try. I've heard some of you girls rave about Peter Thomas Roth. His correction pads are on my wishlist. I also have a friend that is sending me some goodies to test out ;)

I was thinking about getting the Argon oil too. I love my Philosophy Purity face wash, and my Clinque Moisture Surge but I'll be switching to Mary Kay's oil free moisturizer when the weather starts to warm up to reduce the shine.

I discovered the Ponds wipes thanks to you! The Canadian formulation is slightly different - when I was in the US I went to pick up the Evening Soothe wipes and found it had castor oil in it (which doesn't suit my skin). But the green tea + Chamomile formula I have is amazing - first wipe that doesn't leave little bumps on my skin (unlike Neutrogena & Clean & Clear).

Right now my skincare is adequate- keeps my skin clear and moisturized, but that's about it. However, whenever I try something new - I break out badly! So I'm just sticking with the basics for now :-(

I'm so happy you like the ponds ;) I'm the same way with skincare, worried that changing something will cause a break out. I think its best to ease into a new product. I keep my receipts just in case I need to return.

I heard a lot about the Josie Maran line and I am going to check this out while I am in the US later this year. I love the eye cream as well even though I don´t want to use it during the day and I think it might be to rich for the warmer seasons, I am into GinZing eye care from Origins, I put it in the fridge for that extra kick :)

I love the review on all of the products except the cetaphil...I just feel like with the amount of makeup I wash off everyday, it didn't leave my skin feeling "clean." I'm going to have to try the JM argan oil..always passed it as a sample at sephora!

I use that same eye make up remover, it really is the best! I recently did a skin care post as well...I can't live w/out my Dermalogica moisturizer or Bare Minerals night serum! www.casualglamorous.com
